Komut Mai appeals from judgment and sentence following the denial of his motion to suppress and trial on the minutes of testimony.

OPINION HOLDS: Because we find the officer did not have a reasonable, articulable suspicion to stop the vehicle, we reverse the denial of Mai’s motion to suppress and remand for further proceedings.
